motor tramcar Explanation: N was a bidirectional motor tramcar, equipped with four sliding doors. In post-war Poland, many cities struggled with significant shortages of rolling stock and therefore it was necessary to develop a tram with simple construction and easy assembly. It was decided to copy the construction of the German tram Kriegsstraßenbahnwagen (KSW),[2] developed during the Second World War to satisfy the demand of local tram transport companies. Due to the lack of motors, initially the ND trailers for Upper Silesia were built.[1] The successor of Konstal N was Konstal 4N https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konstal_N N to dwukierunkowy, dwustronny, jednoczłonowy wagon silnikowy, wyposażony w czworo jednoczęściowych, odsuwanych drzwi. W powojennej Polsce wiele miast borykało się ze znacznymi brakami taborowymi i w związku z tym niezbędne było opracowanie tramwaju o prostej konstrukcji i łatwym montażu. Postanowiono więc skopiować konstrukcję niemieckiego wagonu Kriegsstraßenbahnwagen (KSW), opracowanego na potrzeby wojenne. Ze względu na brak silników trakcyjnych pierwsze z taśm montażowych zjechały wagony doczepne ND przeznaczone dla Górnego Śląska[2]. Kolejną wersją był tramwaj 4N[3]. vhttps://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konstal_N |
